(had to look « Swede » on Google because I’m French haha. Added a new slang term to my English vocabulary (which I mostly learned via music, tv shows, movies and skatevideos. Thanks guys.)

Their parents are cool - they basically let their sons destroy their property. What wouldn’t you do for your kids… I mean they already built a skatepark. Which has some waterslide parts as obstacles.

The three Dern brothers look like stereotypes of guys I would skate with around 2006, but they sure rip. The zero / fallen guy, the guy with a bandana rocking the hair metal shirts, the guy with the 90s/00s punk bands shirts.

never heard of them until seeing this thread, liked their spots video. Greet retrospective of what has been done on famous spots, from well established pros to random locals.

I have seen some of the roof antics popping up on Instagram, but didn’t know it was from a full edit.

Also me being an European : « they got strange first names ! how many cars do they got ? this property is 50x bigger than the one I grew up in ! there are certainly alligators wandering within this property »

Final one:

This series is good and I appreciate the work they put in, I just wish that they would perhaps do a little more research into the spot itself. I’m not saying go full Ted barrow or anything just a surface level look into why some of these spots got built in the first place. All of these spots didn’t get built with skating in mind, yet have become places where the envelope gets pushed.. idk I think it’s interesting. Anyways, I appreciate the show and the fact that they get someone who skated the spot to talk about it every episode.

I thought it was funny how Chris Roberts is like 'this place is so important to me and skate history' and then knew nothing about the history of the place or what went on before his time there.

[RoaryMcTwang]

Lovely as always, even with Chris Roberts ugly mug

at the end of this episode, one of them (i think Dalton) mentions that they normally wouldn't cover a spot like this and they generally stick to handrails and gaps. respect to them for trying something new but I think their format tends to work better for that type of spot.

handrail and gaps are obviously the type of skating they have pretty deep knowledge about, but also most of their spot history videos are usually more or less listing off tricks that have been done at the spot and that doesn't work as well for a plaza style spot where the bulk of the skating done there has been longer lines made up of individual tricks that don't have as big of an impact on their own. i don't think it really translated as well to have them just reading off the tricks in 5-trick Ronnie Creager lines at the courthouse. Worked a bit better for the out ledge and the stage where there's more singles but the section in the middle dragged a bit and it was clear they were a bit out of their element talking about 90s era LA tech ledge skating.

they're also not gonna shine as well skating-wise at a spot like this, where at the other spots they've done you usually get to see Dalton or Kanaan huck themselves down something pretty impressive as a bonus lol if they do something like this again (iconic plaza style spot), switching up the format to focus a bit more on the architecture, general construction and policy history, the culture of the spot and its impact on skating, etc. would probably land better than their usual approach of focusing on the specific tricks that have gone down. still a pretty solid video all things considered other than having to listen to Crob, enjoy this series a lot more than i expected to

Yeah I agree - the listing off tricks gets old after awhile and doesn’t lend itself to the significance of the spot. Theres a lot more history to unpack that the tricks, those are just the surface.. I think Ted needs to do a this old ledge on the courthouse. Or an LA series.

[Mongo Lloyd]

They also misnamed a couple tricks, but whatever.

This was just as good as all the others-Slap ledge nerds are just nitpicking on these Hot Topic looking dudes.  Love Dern Bros.
